The Cathy Heifetz Memorial Award was established to commemorate the life and honor the memory of Cathy Heifetz (1949-1976), who came to The University of Chicago in 1973 as a student in the Department of Music. The Memorial’s first endowment created an annual award to honor a student in the Department of Music whose associations as a member of this community have been singularly marked by a spirit of caring and helpfulness. The 2008-09 Cathy Heifetz Memorial Award was presented to Erin Sullivan.

About

The Department of Music would like to thank all of the alumni and friends who have graciously donated to the Department. Their gifts have helped support our students in numerous and important ways; to developing a dissertation proposal, to travel to a conference and present a scholarly paper, or to have a new composition performed. Every gift makes a difference. Thank you for your support.
